Me, I am a huge fan of the Chessex 12mm dice blocks. You get 36 dice in each of them, which is often enough for everyone. Also, most gaming stores also have a "random dice" box where you can score a few more 12mm dice of varying colors for Wild Dice for like 25 cents each. I prefer their 'Borealis' line because they're sparkly and it's easy to see the pips even from across a table.

But anyway, what dice do you use?_________________The only words of explanation you need for any concept in the entire Star Wars universe are the words Science Fiction and Space Opera.

I've always been a big fan of Chessex dice too. I never cared for dice that have a dot instead of a line denoting the 6s and 9s.

As for buying "random" colors, I can't do that because while there are particular colors I like, there are also particular colors I just can't stand looking at. Call me finicky.

I don't care for Borealis dice all that much. I prefer solid colors like Frosted Carribean Blue and Frosted Teal. Then again, I also like Velvet Black (which is more of a grey mixed with black highlights and red numbers). For my upcoming SWD6 group, I bought 5 D6s each of the above colors along with 5 D6s each of Translucent Red, Yellow and Green, along with 1 Opaque White and Black D6 to serve as the Wild Die. (31 6-siders should be more than enough for the campaign, especially if the other players bring their own dice.)

I can't wait to use them when we start gaming in 2 weeks!_________________Sutehp's RPG Goodies
Only some of it is for D6 Star Wars.
Just repurchased the X-Wing and Tie Fighter flight sim games. I forgot how much I missed them.

I have a wide assortment, but most of the brands are Chessex, Gamescience, and Crystal Caste. I prefer the 16mm dice to the 12mm blocks. I bought one set from Q-Workshop. It's beautiful, with the ornate inscriptions on them, but they're a little hard to read.___________________________________________________
Before we take any of this too seriously, just remember that in the middle episode a little rubber puppet moves a spaceship with his mind.

That said, I much prefer metal dice to plastic ones. They can run a pretty penny, but there's something about the heft and the solid clunk you get from rolling them onto the table.

Are these available in just like plain-jane stainless steel? Brushed steel would look ill._________________The only words of explanation you need for any concept in the entire Star Wars universe are the words Science Fiction and Space Opera.

For the rare cases that I play a game using polyhedral dice, I have a few sets, including a Gamescience translucent purple set and this Chessex Lathyrus Speckled set. (I still call all non-d6 dice "D&D dice".)

I never cared for d6s that have numerals instead of pips! For D6 games, my primary dice are a set of 12 Chessex 16mm frosted light blue w/ white pips (that color is no longer made as I understand).

In 1987 I took to heart what the RPG book said to do by cannibalizing all of our families game for dice. (Poor Yatzee.) I put them all in a metal tin for two decks of playing cards, and today it is full of an odd assortment of D6s of various sizes, colors and brands I have acquired over the years. I have a specific black die that I've used for Dark Side rolls since 1988 in there._________________*

A mix of Chessex and Wiz Dice, with my six-siders being a hodgepodge mix of sizes and colours, and kinda vary between numbers and pips.

Welcome to the Pit.

Man, I don't know how you do all that...it would drive me crazy if they didn't all match at least in size...lol. And then a mix of pips AND numbers? You sir are a braver man than I._________________The only words of explanation you need for any concept in the entire Star Wars universe are the words Science Fiction and Space Opera.

I do at least organise them into vague groupings when actually using them. Unfortunately local gaming in Lancashire is kind of dead, and there's basically nothing Star Wars related that isn't the X-Wing game from FFG, so I sadly don't actually get to use them all that often.

I've never really cared myself. I have all the dice from both sets of Axis and Allies, Fortress america, and several dips in various "buckets o dice' at conventions filling my bags.._________________It's Not who you kill, but how they die!
You cannot dodge it if you do not know it is coming, and you cannot hit it if you do not know its there.

I don't know what brand dice mine are. I ended up finding a spot that sold black dice with white numbers and a skull & crossbones out of a huge bucket which turned into the large portion of my collection. I seem to recall buying 40 at the time, and I think I'm probably down to maybe 30 or so of the main blacks.

I've gotten multiple sets of proper gaming dice and appropriated the D6 from those for my wild die to use with the skull dice._________________RR
